I agree Roy...and there are a lot of west Texans that would love to see the
idled wells pumping.
A couple of months ago a friend of mine was in a company in eastern NM that
runs tank trucks to the oil wells (you didn't think they were all connected
by pipeline did you?). While he was there, the fellow in charge got a phone
call and after hanging up he stood up and announced to the drivers that they
were shutting down until the price of crude went up.
These particular wells are owned by Arabs.
I don't like paying too much for fuel...but what would really Pi$$ me Off
would be for us to do what Britain has done...the vast majority of their cost
per gallon is TAXES!
Daniel 1312 could be more exact, but isn't it over $3 of the $4 cost per
gallon that is one form of tax or another? Ought to have flippin gold plated
freeways with that kind of tax.
